Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You have been treated for GERD and still not improving.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT ( pulmonary function test ) to rule out bronchitis first. As bronchitis can cause similar symptoms.
If this is also normal then you are having mostly GERD ( gastroesophageal reflux disease ). And endoscopy is needed to diagnose this.
So get done endoscopy.
For better control of GERD you need to follow these lifestyle modifications along with drugs.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Go for walk after meals.
5. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
6. Avoid alcohol and smoking, if you have these habits.
7. Loose weight if you are obese.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
